I need help as soon as possible...making this cake

Hello! I am going to make this cake but I want to add 12 ounces of thawed strawberries chopped up into the batter. Am I going to need to make adjustments to the recipe? If so, what kind of adjustments? Also, I would like to reduce the sugar slightly (to 3/4 or 2/3 of a cup) would the strawberries add the moisture needed that the sugar gives so it will allow me to reduce the sugar without compromising the moisture of the cake? I know gluten free baking is tricky and it can be very dry when you reduce the sugar. Please help!!! Oh and just to let you know I plan on making a vegan strawberry cream cheese frosting that is low sugar and delicious to cover this cake in! It's for a birthday party!

I've made this a strawberry cake before by subbing the applesauce for pureed strawberries and adding crushed freeze-dried strawberries... With the chopped strawberries and reduced sugar I imagine it would work out but you might end up with a more muffin-like product? I would love to hear how it turns out for you :)

" I only gave four stars, because there’s always room for improvement! This one is one of the single most delicious vegan cream cheese frosting‘s I’ve ever had. My family agrees that it’s really good! Thanks for this! "

"I've been looking for a basic Victoria sponge recipe that I can adapt for all kinds of other cakes. This one works brilliantly and is very easy. I have added a mixture of 2.5tbsps of ground flaxseed boiled in 3tbsps water to replace egg's binding qualities.
I've also converted the cup measurements to metric:
190ml mylk
180g flour
95g sugar
Can I post a photo?"
